A second announcement by Sllaef said that “it is an- nounced that Gen. B.L. Montgomery is in command of the zlrmy group carrying out the assault. This army group in- cludes British. Canadian. and U.S. forces.”

The Allied bulletin did not say exactly where the in- vasion was taking place, but Berlin earlier gave these

details:-

Allied naval forces, including heavy warships, are shelling Le Havre. “It is a terrific bombardment?’ Berlin

said.

Allied parachute troops floating down along the Nor- mandy coast were landing and being engaged by German

shock troops.

“We will accept nothing except full victory.”

Eisenhower told his

men they were “embark-

ing on a great crusade toward which we have stri- ven these many months,” and warned them that they were facing a tough, well-prepared enemy.

ity" of the fierce fighting was zit Caenjiio miles southwest oi’ be llavre and 65 miles southeast of
